Kentucky underperformed at the SEC Baseball Tournament last month, winning only one game before being eliminated by South Carolina. However, the Wildcats have turned things around at the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Kentucky has won all five of their games at the competition, as the team is peaking at the right time.

Today’s game will be historic for the Wildcats because it will be their first appearance at the College World Series. The team has gotten close to reaching this point on two different occasions, but they lost in the Super Regionals both times.

Kentucky was able to get over the hump by sweeping Oregon State last week in the Lexington Super Regional. This included an impressive 10-0 win and a clutch 3-2 victory to close out the series. With these performances, the Wildcats have shown the ability to win games in multiple ways.

The Wolfpack are on a mission to win the team’s first national championship, which they almost accomplished in 2021. The team dominated at home in their regional, winning every game by multiple runs. NC State continued their great play against the Georgia Bulldogs in the Athens Super Regional, as they won the series opener 18-1. However, the Wolfpack were trounced 11-2 in the next game. So, NC State had to win an elimination game to reach the 2024 College World Series.

The Wolfpack faced a 2-0 deficit early in the series finale against Georgia on Monday, but the team was able to regroup and win the game 8-5. This comeback victory has instilled more confidence in the NC State squad, making them a tough matchup for Kentucky in the first round.
